LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Agree to it anyway?

Several days passed, the kyai always gave a three-day pause for each task given to Leon. The first is the reading of the Quran, the second is the Adhan, the third is the memorization of the minimal short letter of Al-Fatihah and the three qul (An-nas, Al-alaq, and al-Ikhlas), the fourth is the practice of dzuhur prayer, the, the fourth is a question and answer about Leon's understanding of the role of men towards women.

“What questions you had the answer to the other day?” ask the kyai.

“Ehm... Honestly, I have tried to ask friends, ustadz, and even my father about the role of a man against women, and the answer is all different,” said Leon.

“Then according to Leon's own Nak how?” ask Nurul's father.

Leon quiet. He was not sure of the answers he had inferred from some of the sources he had obtained.

“Bismillahi rohman nirrohim. In my understanding, the role of a man is to protect women, both in the world and in the hereafter. Men should be able to resist n*fsu in order not to harm women's lives. Men should also be able to guide women, so that they survive when in the future. But, the women here I think are not limited to life partners, but parents, sisters, brothers and other sisters.” Leon continued to express his opinion about the answer the young man had concluded.

After he finished listening to Leon's answer, Nurul's father no longer asked, but the wife who then asked something.

“Sorry, Son Leon. Did Nak Leon's parents know about Leon's intentions?” ask Nurul's Mother.

“If you want to get married yet. But I told you there was a girl I was appraising. They both did not seem to forbid. Papah and Mamah even want to see what kind of girl that has made me suddenly think of having a family,” replied Leon.

“Do they not mind your five year old age?” ask Nurul again.

“They are also the same as Mr. Kyai, who does not think too much about the age difference. Since long ago, Papah and Mamah even worried that forever I would be lazy to talk about marriage. Even when Oliv married, Papah always insinuated me when to follow,” replied Leon.

“Then like yes you are married, is your lecture not disturbed? How about work?” ask Nurul's Mother.

“Bu, that windfall has its way. Don't worry about that. After all, Nak Leon's family might not want to hurry. At least wait until Nak Leon graduates first,” refuted Father Nurul.

“Then, isn't it too long, sir? Not now that Leon's kid's only seventh semester. It'll take at least another semester, won't it, son?” ask Ibu Nurul.

“Bu, after all, not necessarily they will be married. Leon is just trying to learn better. About soul mate, fortune and death, only God knows,” said Nurul's father.

Hearing the debate, Leon seemed to need to straighten out the problem that became the beginning of the debate.

“Ehm... I'm sorry, Mr. Kyai, Ms. nyai. I seem to have to interrupt this conversation. If it's a work problem, I would have said that after college, I used to help my father work, and it was hired. Thank God, his wages are enough for his daily living expenses. So about that, no problem,” said Leon.

Both of them were silent and stopped the discussion.

“Ehem... That's right, Mom. Everything has its way. No need to bother with that problem,” said Nurul's father.

After saying this, shortly afterwards Leon decided to go home because there were other needs.

He told me to come back three days later. However, he did not say what Leon should do for the next meeting. The young man was confused about that.

However, he could not ask more because Nurul's father did not want to tell him, and only told him that Leon had to come again later.

...☕☕☕☕☕...

“New home lu, Yon?” ask Olivia.

The woman is currently sitting leaning on the head board, talking to her best friend on the phone.

“Newly returned from my bokap office. Since I know I have a crush on girls, bokap so more and more love work to me. In fact, the streets are as mulu nyokap. Don't know if I also have a lot of tasks,” grumbled Leon.

“Dih the boy. Don't worry. Entar you will also hold all your bokap work. Consider this an exercise. Betewe, his father Nurul gave what other tasks to you?” ask Olivia curiously.

“About,” replied Leon.

“Hah? Shrimp means the test? Keep the results?” lissy Olivia.

“Au ah's. Confused me. When he came home, Mr. Kyai only said three days later come again. But when I was just wondering what his job was, he said there was no duty, just ask me to come to doang,” replied Leon.

“Kok is?” tanga Olivia again.

“Yes don't know. I'm also confused,” said Leon.

“Means no certainty dong?” ask Olivia.

“Ya has not. I'm going to shower, I'm going to sleep. Fooled me. Where tomorrow tell me to lead a meeting again,” said Leon.

“Emang bokap you streets to where same Aunt Dewi?” ask Olivia.

“Wah... Do not go abroad. Yon, ask by-by dong same bonyok you. Tell me for the grandson-in-law. Hehehe...,” says Olivia.

“Iya if you already know where they are going. Oh yeah, I closed first. Assalamu’alaikum.” Leon pamit's.

“Waalaikumsalam,” says Olivia.

The call ended. Alzam appears to have been sitting on the edge of the bed holding a special glass of milk pregnant women in his hands. Since then he has been patient waiting for the wife to finish calling with her best friend.

“Drink the milk first,” exclamation Alzam.

“Still, Mas,” says Olivia.

The woman also spent her milk up to the toilet. Alzam then returned to give water to Olivia to rinse the remaining milk in the mouth of the wife.

After making sure his wife drank her milk, Alzam climbed into bed. Olivia, who had been sitting leaning back, now came down and lay side by side facing her husband.

While Alzam, the young man lay sideways and his head rested with his elbows bent upward.

Gently, Alzam stroked Olivia's blackened mane on the top, because it had grown longer.

“Mas, actually his parents Nurul agree is not the same intention taaruf Leon?” ask Olivia.

“Ehm... Dumb off. Not that Leon is no longer a fan of Nurul well now?” ask Alzam back.

“When? Every person there is also his business as mulu father. Did he walk with both Nurul?” ask Olivia back.

A pinch on the nose was finally found Olivia, because the husband was anxious to hear the answer from the wife.

“You think taarufan is dating? Walk together, eat together, watch it together, is that it? The devil will come in, it will even maksiat,” replied Alzam.

“Oh... That way. Lah emang whose name is taaruf instead of knowing each other yes, Mas?” ask Olivia again.

“Iya. But not just between those two people, but with all his family as well. That is, the Mother Dede,” replied Alzam while poking the tip of Olivia's nose, which was getting drowned due to her stye cheeks.

“Yes how do I know. We just don't,” says Olivia.

“Yes, it's a very interesting us married ma me right. Sample use how to cheat,” timpal Alzam.

“Hehe... Ho 'oh. I love her so much with you,” Olivia said.

Both are smiling. Alzam gently brought Olivia into his arms and kissed the top of his head.

“Ehm... But, if not that, it will not be rich gini also well,” said Alzam.

“Emang you choose rich gini what is not?” ask Olivia.

“Choose gini rich. Anget,” replied Alzam while tightening his embrace.

Olivia chuckled and Alzam also chuckled.

“Eh, but if it is missed, I also used to be tested like Mr. Nurul,” said Alzam.

That made Olivia take off her arms from her husband, with a perfectly wrinkled forehead.

“What? So you have also been with Nurul?” pekin Olivia's.
